What does it take to foster an internal environment that promotes good health and keeps away disease? Below are fives important keys to foster happiness and promote good health at all time in your environment?
1. Practice forgiveness.
Who has wrongly accused you or wrong you generally very deep? See, you need to know that the first step in overcoming negative emotions is forgiveness instead of anger, resentment or bitterness.
Unforgiveness rarely hurt anyone but the person holding it. So free your heart from hate and bondage, let a fresh stream of healing begin to flow inside of you.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15 KJV.
2. Take control of your tongue.
The words you speaks have enormous consequences. The Bible declared that "Death and life are in the power of tongue" (Prov. 18:21 KJV).
A transformed heart is the only guarantee that the words you speak will be uplifting. The Lord said, "For whatever is in your heart determines what you say" (Matthew 12:34).
Remember, what you speak sets in motion your future and it affect your relationship and body.
"Kindly words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body" (Prov. 16:24).
3. Surround yourself with positive friends.
Since words, thoughts and attitudes are contagious, choose your friends carefully. What can you expect if you surround yourself with people who spew negative stories, spread rumors or use language that is unbecoming? Scripture says "Let your conversation be gracious and effective so that you will have the right answer for every person" (Colossians 4:6).
4. Feed your mind Healthy thoughts.
It's important that we monitor what listen to and watch. The Bible says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do" (Proverb 4:23).
What enters our mind comes out in our actions and affects our well being.
Examine your television viewing, and make a commitment to turn off anything that harms your spirit. Stop listening to music that is depressing. Before you buy any CD, try to read the lyrics or content or introduction. To know if that what you want in your spirit man.
Apostles Paul offers this Advice: Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8.
5. Meditate on God's word.
When your heart is filled with scripture, there is not much room for doubt or defeat. You don't have to read five chapters a day to receive the benefit. Instead, start with just one verse, and meditate on it until the words flood your soul. Commit the words to memory so that you can call on them anytime you need it.
You will find that Scripture is an armor that will give protection from negative thoughts and emotions. It also creates faith within you.
A healthy mind that is full of love, joy, peace and forgiveness should lead to a healthy body. So choose to speak God inspired words and think God inspired thoughts.
